What would be ur perfect SL? How many teams? Which teams? How SL is contested? At which stadiums? Magic weekend?

Mine would be

Wire
Wigan
Saints
Leeds
Bradford
Widnes
Leigh
Oldham
Crusaders
Quins
Catalans
Castleford
Hull FC
Hull KR

Hull KR, Oldham and Castleford have all new grounds. 27 rounds. Play Off system is top 6 as it used to be.

Magic weekend in Newcastle - with derbies.

10 teams

Wigan, Saints, Warrington, Leeds, Hull, Hull KR, Bradford, Catalans, Hudds, Toulouse.

Everybody plays everybody else three times (27 games)
5 team playoffs on the system we had from 1998-2001, ie
Week 1 - 1 gets bye, 2 v 3, 4 v 5. Whoever loses out of 4 v 5 eliminated
Week 2 - 1 plays whoever won from 2 v 3 for a place in Grand Final, whilst whoever lost from 2 v 3 plays whoever won from 4 v 5 and the winner of this game eliminated
Week 3 - the loser of the Grand Final qualifier plays the winner of last week's elimination match, for the remaining Grand Final place
Week 4 - Grand Final

Happy with that now we are unlikely to end up 10th again.

Wire, Saints, Wigan, Leigh, Widnes, Leeds, Bradford, Hudds, Barrow, Catalans, Hull FC, Hull KR.

12 teams. Top six play off format like it was before they decided to change it. Each team plays each other twice (24 rounds).

Bring back promotion and relagation. Magic weekend to be contested in the first game of the season as it is now.

That would be 23 rounds

16 teams

Wire, Wigan, Saints, Widnes, Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield, Castleford
Hull FC, Hull KR, Barrow, Catalans, Quins, Toulouse, Halifax, Crusaders

Top eight play-off remains

Two teams automatically relegated each year. Championship grand final runner-up is given right to a one-leg playoff for promotion against 3rd-bottom in SL, similar to the way that the Belgian football league works. This match is played as a curtain-raiser to the SL Grand Final.

A Magic Weekend with derbies, alternating between Cardiff, Newcastle, and Villa Park.

Wire, Wigan, Saints, Leeds, Bradford, Hull FC, Hull KR, Crusaders, Catalans , Featherstone, Halifax, Quins, Leigh, Widnes

- Everyone plays each other twice.
- Magic Weekend - Newcastle
- Two teasm relegated, Two championship teams promoted.
- Bring the top 6 back with the top 2 getting the week off.
- Play off semi's at neutral grounds.
- Final at Old Trafford.

Keep it as it is,because Sky know best.

Bring back promotion and relegation, keep the magic weekend in cardiff with derbies and back to top six playoffs

I like this

Anyone putting in Leigh and leaving Quins out need their bumps feeling..........

I prefer a top 6 play off though as a top 8 rewards mediocrity.

Wire
Wigan
Leeds
Saints
Hull
Hull KR
Bradford
Huddersfield
Quins
Catalans
Castleford
Salford
Wakefield
Widnes
Halifax

15 teams - 28 fixtures. Scrap Magic Weekend. Two up two down regardless of 'criteria' etc.
Play-offs top 8 as the Aussies do.
More kudos attached to winning the league...


Call me old-fashioned

Current SL teams minus Salford and Wakey, play each other twice and magic weekend in Cardiff (derbies) at start of year (23 rounds). Play offs top 6 like few years ago. Promotion/Relegation, bottom down, champ gf winner up. More internationals mid year or state of origin style games back. Reduce amount of overseas players allowed.

Hopefully should increase quality of English born players and competition to avoid relegation as well as rewarding the champions of the championship!

Manningham
Halifax
Runcorn
Oldham
Brighouse
Tyldesley
Hunslet
Hull
Leigh
Wigan
Bradford
Leeds
Warrington
St. Helens
Liversedge
Widnes
Stockport
Batley
Wakefield Trinity
Huddersfield
Broughton
Rochdale

THE NORTH WILL RISE AGAIN

13 team league playing your 12 opponents twice (24 rounds).
Top 5 playoff - winner to the final (they won the league ffs & should be properly rewarded). 2v5, 3v4 straight knockout then a semi.

Bottom two to play in a looser is relagated match neutral venue. One up one down.

14 teams:

Bradford
Catalans Dragons
Cumbria
Crusaders RL
Wigan
Warrington
St Helens
Leeds
Hull
Hull KR
Harlequins RL
Huddersfield
Toulouse Olympique
Widnes

Possible 16:

14 teams play each other twice, scrap millenium weekend.Bottom 2 go down and top 7 in the playoffs where 1st straight through to GF. then G1 2 v 7, G2 3 v 6, G3 4 v 5 with highest placed at home. then round robin of the winners where they all play each other once in a 3 team league with a home and away match each done in a draw. with the winner playing 1st in GF. And scrap the 4 nations.

example of round robin could be:

wire v leeds
leeds v hull
hull v wire.

14 teams:

Same 14 minus Castleford and Wakefield, bring in Widnes and a cumbrian team.

Play off format the same, apart from club call. Highest v Lowest in every round.

Have an opening magic weekend to start the season with derbies.
